Easter

Too many pictures! But finally, here is our Easter. We decorated way to many eggs. I'm hoping next year I will not need to buy our eggs to dye.

Dying them is good and all, but it is more fun to paint, color, and sticker them.And make them into dinosaurs.Our first Easter egg hunt was almost a bust, but we made it, sorta. We arrived after all the kids had already filled there baskets, but some eggs were saved and thrown into the grass real quick so my kiddos didn't feel shafted. Thanks Annie!We were happy to find out there was more to it than the hunt, so we didn't miss it allEaster Bunny puppets, Easter egg cookie decorating, lots of snacks to eat, and the Easter Bunny.....?..

This was all put together by a Mom of 3, 3 boys younger than our kids(respectively), and closer together in age. And I could not even manage to just show up on time. She is super Mom for sure. There was even a photographer!

Eggapalooza was egg hunt # two, and we made sure to get there plenty early. We stayed for 3 hours, me with 3 kids, one that does not walk. Did I bring a stroller? Or even strap her to me and wear her? No, I guess I didn't think that far ahead :P We had fun though riding, jumping, sliding, holding fuzzy cute animals, and got a free lunch! It was more a carnival then a egg hunt, but there was that too. That was a crazy egg hunt. Rhiannon was in the 5 year old to 5th grade group. A stampede of kids charging towards the eggs!Jump!Ponies that make me want to move to the country. Wee!Kaitlyn was mad that I didn't let her go in and grab the chickens. But she loved her snow cone! It was a hot day, and she dug in to that nice cold snow cone. I mean two fisted grabbing and shoving hand fulls in her mouth. I didn't even try to keep it off her dress, she was enjoying it to much to be bothered with Mom helping her eat more neatly. Then Easter morning the kids woke up to filled baskets and a back yard full of hidden eggs. (hunt#3) Then it was off to church, where Rhiannon got to see her best buddies. Three of the 4 girls that started Misson Hills 3 year old class on the first day the school opened, and buddies ever sense. Then to Granty Chris's house for dinner, cousins, grantys and.. gruncles?? heh. We are so lucky to have Daddy's family so close to us. This is why we don't up and move to the country. We have family all around us here, and that's better than ponies.Egg hunt #4And fun with cousins. They always have so much fun together. Kaitlyn loves doggies. We were missing 3, can't wait till we can get this pic with all the kids in it. We had too much fun as we always do on holidays, stretching them out to make them last for weeks. And we learned quick, don't leave your basket where the baby can reach it, she WILL steal your Peeps. This happened twice.
